St Teresa's are taking part in The Big Lent Walk 2025. Please find the link below to our schools fundraising Page. Your donations can change lives. We aim to raise money to purchase chickens to help our global brothers and sisters.

Live Simply Award
We are thrilled to share some exciting news! On Tuesday 25th February, our school was assessed for the CAFOD Live Simply Award. This award recognises schools that take action to live simply, sustainably, and in solidarity with those living in poverty around the world. Over the course of a year, our school has worked hard to devise and implement an action plan that demonstrated our commitment to these values. We had to provide evidence of our initiatives, attend an interview and some of our pupils were also interviewed as part of the assessment process. We are delighted to announce that we have successfully completed the assessment!
Here is a quote from Dympna Edwards, CAFOD’s Live Simply assessor:
“It has been a pleasure to hear about your faith-inspired actions, demonstrating how you have been living simply, sustainably, and in solidarity with communities around the world living in poverty. This is a fantastic achievement, and we warmly congratulate you, your pupils, and your staff team.”
This achievement marks a significant milestone for our school, and we are incredibly proud of all the efforts put in by the whole school community. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Smalldon and Miss Stokes, whose passion and leadership have driven this project forward. We are beyond thrilled with this accomplishment and look forward to continuing our work towards living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with others.

St. Teresa's Catholic Primary School's open day for new reception starters in September 2025 will take place on Wednesday 23rd October. There will be two timeslots, one at 9:30am and one at 2:00pm. There is no need to book, please turn up 5-10 minutes before the slot you would like to attend. Information regarding Tinies will also be given on the day.
We are the Mini Vinnies and we have been thinking how we can help families not as lucky as ourselves in the run up to Christmas. Christmas can be a time of need for many people and so we have decided to support the Penwortham Food bank at Kingsfold Community Centre. We would like to ask the children of St Teresa’s to bring in long dated food items before the 20th December so that we can deliver it to the Community Centre during the morning of the 22nd December. If you can help us with our Christmas appeal, we would really appreciate it. We are asking for one item of food per family and have split the food items into groups in the table below to help with the list of items needed.
